MnRAM Report Overview
Because MnRAM has evolved over the years in response to user requests, data reporting has some quirks.
Some reports work best on-screen. Others are formatted for printing. There are two different locations for running out different reports.
If you have technical expertise and want to format a unique report with your data, you can use the Export Data feature with other software to pull the data you want into a new external document.

MnRAM Report Locations
• The Report section is located along the right side of the database screen.
• The Summary Tab is located in the “back” row of tabs along the top.

You can use the <complete> filter to find out which sites are not yet complete, to see if you missed any during data entry.
If you enter your sites grouped by project name, you can run a filtered report to show a single project’s sites grouped together.

Shows your responses to each question for a single site.

LGU Report/Site Assessment
The first page gives basic information on the site visit, including the location, General Features, and an overview of Soils and Vegetation.
Any notes entered by the reviewer will appear here.
Turn pages by pressing the arrows here.
Page Two lists any Special Features noted and lists all Vegetative Communities.
A listing of the Functional Ratings begins here, with pre-formatted explanations of what might be expected of a wetland with that functional rating.
The Functional Ratings section may continue onto one or two other pages, depending on the site.
These comments are not meant to be exclusive of user experience! They are meant to guide reviewers who lack other resources. They offer suggestions that might be considered when evaluating the wetland.
The last page gives a detailed listing of the dominant species listed for each vegetative community, along with the Cowardin and Circular 39 classifications chosen by the reviewer.

Summary Tab

MC-Standard Results
This is a report meant for on-screen viewing. You can check to see how the site would be classified if you use the Basic or Increased protection system.
It shows the function that causes the wetland to fall into the protection standard, the formula for that function and the questions that go into the formula, and the values for each of those questions.
For a print version of this report, press <Classification Report>.
1515
MC-Adjustable Flowchart
This tab shows an interactive report control that allows the user to “loosen” the classification criteria, so that more wetlands fall into higher protection levels.
Adjusting the knobs does not change the functional ratings. Those are shown in the blue bar and change only when responses to questions are changed. Turning the knobs affects what happens with functional ratings, not underlying data.
Functional Ratings remain unchanged
1616
MC—Printable Report
This report shows the ranking of each function and highlights the one that caused the site to drop into the management classification it was given.
The lower portion of the page describes the critical function, shows its formula and the questions that go into calculating it.
The individual responses to each of those questions is also shown.
1717
MC-Report Flexibility
If the user adjusts the classification using the dials on the adjustable flowchart, the Classification Report will reflect that change…
Notice how the classification changes as the Amphibian setting is adjusted.
The Classification Report reflects the change.
